Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of LaMelo Ball [Gold Prizm] #63 sell for $3,328, only $0.00 above the $16,888 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($3,025) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
